CIRCULAR No. 2-THRD SERIES.
During the recent tession of the General AS
serobly it was openly charged that at the last
period of listing property for taxation, only three
Auditors in the Sta:s required a return of the
Cotton held by farmers and others on the ist OF
January If this chatge is true, those Auditors
t0wh0m it applies clearly failed to carry out the
provisions Of the law which requires personal
pfopertysof every description to be returned for
taxation.A There is no more reason why Cotton
or other crops should be omitted from the re.
turns than that Horsis, Cattle or other items OF
property should be, al d the law does not exempt
I the one any more that the other.

The Prince Of Bulgaria.

The somewhat startling announcement
was received from Europe on Thursday that
the Bulgarian Sobrauje had elected Ferdi-
nand of Sake Coburg Gotha as successor to
the dethroned Alexander of Battenberg.
The fact is of Importance of course only
in its bearings upon the politics of Europe.
The new prince is close relative of Queen
Victoria, and within a few days has been a
visitor at Windsor The Queens husband
was a Saxe-Coburg Gotham. 1t is not neces-
sary to dilate upon the connection the now
sovereign will have with Germany.
In all this may DO seen direct snub to
Russia and clear indication of the close
links that bind England and Germany to-
gether in their general policy.
The election of Prince Ferdinand has been
received by the Bulgarians with great AMI,
nation.
Prince Alexander's reign was unsuccess,
full, although he strongly represented Ger.
man interests, at least much more so than
English ones. 1t will now be seen what
success may be looked for by Bulgarian
prince who has the open support of tn,
British.
Ferdinand's possession of the throne Il
value for the argument that Russia will
never, as long as he is upon the throne
march on Constantinople through Bulgarian
territory.

The College Alumni.

The Philadelphia Boeaing Telegraph in re-
ferring to communication from the Al
mum Association of the High School Of
Philadelphia incidentally defines the proper
position of an almuni association as follows:
'It is eminently proper and entirely right
that the alunni--otherwise the graduates
of the High Scheol should take deep in-
terest in the institution; that they should
bring all legitimate influences 10 bear to
promote its welfare; that they should figure
as the critics of its policy, and otherwise
should aid in making it more and more a
means for the promotion Of the cause Of
sound practical education and OF that of
good citizenship in tho largest aud best
sense Of the term"
The above paragraph exactly fits tho po-
sition of the Delaware College alumni, and
in most proper way defines their rRhtful
status as critics Of its (thc trustees and fac
ultys) policy.

Miss Molle Staats, Miss Fannie Call and
Miss Hannah Walker left this city on
Thursday morning for Mountain Lake Park,
the leading camp meeting. resort of the
country.
Mountain Lake Park is on the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
only short distance from the now famous
resort Of Deer Park.
The B. g. o. runs three limited express
trains daily from this city to Deer Park,
Oakland, Mountain Lake Park and the vari-
GUS spring resorts in the Valley of Virginia.
Tho train leaving Wilmington at 7.4O a. m.
will have a parlor car service.
All Western trains of this road pass
through Washington, and as the B. d 0.
depot Ia within the shadows of the great
Capitol dome, and as the trains glide in and
out Of the city, the whole majesty of the
towering structure is comprehended while
the Washington Monument is in full view,
from base to cloud capped apex. The vari'
,ous public buildings loom up in their mas
sive proportions, and beyond, skirting the
low lands, the Potomac ripples on its placid
way, with no suggestion Of that which once
rent It's fair bosom. To those who can but
pass through, the opportunity of the sncces
sion of views from the train is one of rar'
enjoyment.

IRANSYLvAHIA,

On the 9Th proximo the Inder will bo
launched upon the treacherous and uncer-
tain sea of journalism from the port of
Dover. 1t will contest the field with the
Delaparean, and It's osteHsible mission is to
overthrow the Salisbury dynasty.
Two years hence a United States Senator
is to be elected as the successor of Hon Eli
Salisbury, and the Lader is to be the batter
ing ram to stampede the Salisbury forces.
The prospectus states: sin no case will its
columns be open to personal abuse and
slander." If the Inder maintains this plank
in its platform, it will be in happy contrast
to Its contemporary, and il it succeeds in in
ecting into the DeldHdredn some ideas upon
journalistic proprietics the LndeU will not
have been born in vain and the citizens OF
Kent county can well afford to proclaim

cleveland Prognosticstcs.

Washington correspondence in last Thurs
days issue of the Philadelphia Times states
that President Cleveland has taken to politi-
cal prophesy. For instance, she, (the
Presdcnt) did MS think that Mr.. Blaine
had gained anythi. Nh in those states where
he was weak last st7pge, and he thought if
Mr. Blaine should have the temerity to be,
again, President al candidate, that he
would be easily defeated, j. G., if the Demo
Gratis should nominate the right man-the
right msu, OF course, being Grover Cleve-
land" The Preside. also referred to Soma
tor Sherman "as weak with the masses, "
and as regards the other Presidential proba-
bilities, ohe (the President) did not think
they possessed enough aggressive strength
to warrant serious consideration"
Had this interview been reported in
journal hostile to Mr.. cleveland 1t would
have been received as CT iel satire, but the
Times being stiopg and ven an impetu-
uus advocate for Cleveland's denomination
the interview must be taken at its face value,
and in the light of the Presidents prognosti'
cations the Times can well afford to advise
MIR. President, please don't talk!

rammany VIII Oppose Cleveland.

A letter from New York in last Sunday S
issue Of the Washington Gazette, says. !
have conyeHed with quite number Of the
members Of the society, 1t is true have
not tackled the Grand Sachem, nor the Sag
amore, (master of ceremones). nor yet the
wiskinkie (doorkeeper), but have talked
with two or three of the Sachems, of whom
there are thirteen, and many more of the
rank and file. My conclusion is this: Tam
many will not support Cleveland. The first
choice Of Tammany is Governor Hill, but its
leaders are willing to take good man
from outside of New York. They will join
hands with anybody to beat Cleveland,
They have strong hopes of beating him.
They will make powerful effort to contro
the New York State delegation. There is
good deal of opposition to the Presiden
among the Democrats over in Brooklyn, ant
the leaders of it have strong hopes of send
ing an anti-C Cleveland delegation to the con
vention.

Daily Trims to Cape May.

Water streets, during the week at S.l5 and
on Sundays at $50 O'Clock, connecting at
the pier on the Delaware river with the
steamer "Republio." The train will be in

nothing more advantageous than trip to

The owl in its flight few evenings ago,

pleasant place, situated at the corner Of

Young Mems Temperance Union, and the
sight that met his gaze fiji ed his heart with
delight, for upon every hand could be seen
young mon whose faces betokened intelli-

seemed odd to see so many young men trying
to inform themselves upon subjects SO vital
to their future happiness. For one to look
around the square and count the club
rooms, and look upon the corners and count
the young mon loating away their time,
none would imagine there were SO many left
to encourage right living in the shape of
temperance. Upon entering the room of
these Temperance Boys" your hand is cor
daily grasped by the worthy secretary OF
the association, Mr.. Frank Willing. Surely
the ladies exercised care in securing Mr.

equal delight.
There are two sets Of pictures, one for the
eyes and one for the hands. The latter
show how fingers can represent rabbits,
pigs, mice, birds, flowers and clouds in the
sky.
This series of baby delight alone is enough
to make the fortune of BABYLAND. But it
isn't alone. There are puzzles so easy that
baby can almost read them, and rhymes that
sing themselves in her ear as she goes TO
sleep, and pleasant tales to come again in

The kindergarten Association at its May
